CHARTED REQUIRES MONEY ON HAND
roKi-ii'-fitlr ihv tatlnnrr, Fuel

ere!eil anil nilU 1114 In
for 1JMI3 Appropriation.
In Th Pe of Thursday msotion was
made rf the fsrt that City Clerk Bhrigley.
in conformity with th rliy charter and th
ordinances In force, had advertised for bids
for -tippUc for the various department.
There la need of stationery, feed for the
fire 1epir-nunt horfea, coal for the fire
holla, the shoeing of horsea belonging to
the city, etc. Bid for lumber for the
street department are also asked for.
Grain, drugs and supplies for the emer
gency hospital are wanted.
The bidders are supposed to file with the
elty clerk their bids by aoon of December
59. h!!e the city reserves the right to ac
cept cr reject any or all bids.
"It 13 more than likely that the city will
reject all bids for supplies," said a mem
ber cf the counrll last night. "Section lfig
of the city charter" says that no contract
shall be entered Into by the city council or
ny committee or member thereof and no
expenses Incurred by any of the officers or
departments of the corporation, whether
the object of the expenditure shall have
been ordered by the city council or not. un
less an appropriation shall have been pre
viously miide."
With this section of the charter In view
the members of the council cannot legally
' pay nny attention to hide received. While
one portion cf the "good book"' says that
hldn shall be advertised for at a certain
time . another counteracts that by saying
that there must bo money on hand. Conse
quently the supplies will most likely be
purchased as needed and the dealers will
remit bills to the city when the 1903 appro
priation Is available.

landers elected these officers a night or two

"Shakespeare's riots, a Study of the
Dramatic Construction ot'the Plays," by
William H. Fleming. "No one ot Shakes
peare's plays Is more popular than 'The
Merchant of Venice.' None la more misun
derstood. The opinion Is almoat universal
that the main action is the loan by Shy
lock to Antonio and the consequences there
of, i The opinion Is wholly mistaken. The
error Is 'the result ot two causes: Ignor
ance of dramatic1 construction and ' tha
conventional, method. ,f .staging the pray;"
The -opening paragraph of Mr. Fleming'
tudy of "The Merchant of Venice" Indi
cates the character of hla work. Tha au
thor proceeds in an Interesting manner to
analyze the famous play, both In It me
chanical construction 'and in Ha aesthetic
qualities. In like method Mr. Fleming
makes a comprehensive study of four other
plays, "Macbeth." "Julius Caesar,"
"Othello" and "The Twelfth Night."
The method followed is extremely help
ful to everyone who reads Shakespeare.
To the playgoer and atudent th book is
of value in giving clear Insight to play
writing In general and to an appreciation
of Shakespeare'a masterpieces in particu
lar. Jn this respect Mr. Fleming has un
dertaken a phase In tha study of Shakea-
pea re that has not heretofore received It.
proper attention by writer and editors.
The author insists that tha plot is the
Important thing, and show how a well
constructed plot ,' Is built by aa definite
law as an arch ot masonry. Numberless
are the commentatora at the master, but
few have approached the analysis of the
plays with better effect or with better
result than Mr. Fleming.
Two chapter of tha book, by way of In
troduction, ar devoted to explain how
the drama 1 a work of art founded on na
ture and nature'a laws. Tha art of com
position, the evolutloa ot a drama. Ilk
movement and growth In - nature, la in
strict accordance with law. A drama,
like a house, t butlded. Ita architecture
obey certain fixed rulea ot construction.
These may be classified iqto Ave general
divisions: Introduction, where most of
tha main characters are introduced;
growth, where tha real action of the play
begins; climax, where all the complicating
and revolving forces of tha play meet in
a point, for the climax la the crest ot
the dramatic arch up to which the action
ha moved, from which point ithat action
changing Ita direction moves , toward tha
conclusion of th play; the fall prepares
for the end; tha catastrophe Is tba final
event In a drama. All or Shakespeare'
playa are bullded on this scaffolding, and
for that reason hla playa are models of
dramatic construction. The - playgoer or
reader educated to understand these prin
ciples finds In Shakespeare delight and
Inspiration.
Mr. Fleming, having clearly explained to
the reader the rulea ot dramatic construc
tion, resolves each of the Ave playa Into
Ita constituent parts and leads -tba reader
step by step through -each of tha divisions.
The various and numerous parts 'of which
ach play is composed ar reduced to
order the significance of each la given its
proper value. Out-ot the variety ot char
acter, ot paaslon, ot action, of incident and
scens, there Is developed unity. The sep
arate details ot the play ar seen to bs
eorelated, each having ita proper place and
accent in the development of the plot.
The connection and harmony of all the
parta become apparent. The full force and
value of the play Is mad evident, and
each play becomes aesthetically intelligible
aa a beautiful work of art. To. the general

Crawford and published by the Macmlllln
company. Tha cen of Mr. Crawford'
latest romance, which deals somewhat with
telepathy, the transmigration of souls, and
with a great friendship between man and
man. Is laid in modern Roman unofficial
society. The plot Itself concerns a young
woman In whom tha author has evidently
attempted to produce the Hellenic perfec
tion of Intellect and beauty; a man who
loves her In the usual, commonplace sort ot
way, and hla friend, a commonplace sort of
man,, who loves her In a most extraordinary
sort of way, on the assumption that they
had been lovers in ancient Rome she as
an exiled Vestal Virgin and he as a Roman
convert to Christianity. When they meet,
in the book, in the saletto of a modern
Roman matron, she recognizes him at once,
whila that very night he dreams of the cir
cumstances of their supposed former exist
ence, and the next morning tbey meet un
expectedly at the ruined Temple ot Pallas,
each evidently being drawn hither by some
curious dominating force. There aro sev

an artful auxiliary plot.
